To find the value of R (the profit/loss percentage for Article 1), we need to follow these steps:

ArticlesCost PriceMarked PriceDiscountSelling PriceProfit/Loss %
112600+20%10%WR
  1. Calculate the Marked Price: \(\text{Marked Price} = \text{Cost Price} + 20\% \text{ of Cost Price}\)

Substitute the values given:

\(\text{Marked Price} = 12600 + \frac{20}{100} \times 12600 = 12600 + 2520 = 15120\)

  1. Calculate the Selling Price after Discount: \(\text{Selling Price} = \text{Marked Price} - 10\% \text{ of Marked Price}\)

\(\text{Selling Price} = 15120 - \frac{10}{100} \times 15120 = 15120 - 1512 = 13608\)

  1. Calculate the Profit/Loss Percentage: \(\text{Profit/Loss Percentage} = \frac{\text{Selling Price} - \text{Cost Price}}{\text{Cost Price}} \times 100 \%\)

Substitute the values:

\(\text{Profit/Loss Percentage} = \frac{13608 - 12600}{12600} \times 100 = \frac{1008}{12600} \times 100 \approx 8\%\)

Thus, the value of R is 8%.
